Rover’s Irish Pub at 230 Front Street in downtown Belleville will be hosting a St. Patrick’s Day of Celebration on March 17, 2011 beginning at 11:30 am.  This event is being organized by the Quinte Arts Council with support of Loyalist College Public Relations students.

The celebration will include an old fashioned Irish fare prix fixe menu, a honourary Irish table, Irish dancers, a pianist, Irish music and a raffle.

Tickets must be reserved in advance by calling 613-962-1232.  Lunch will be served between noon and 3:00 pm.

Leading the festivities will be Shannon Neely, the Master of Ceremonies and head of the Honourary Irish table. A bagpiper will escort our Honourary Irish to their special VIP section where they will don a St.  Patrick’s Day hat and receive a certificate of appreciation.  Those who would like to celebrate their Irish heritage or become Honourary Irish for the day should call Shannon at 613-966-1020 ext. 454 or e-mail shannon@financialprotect.com.   Tickets are $125 and include the prix fixe lunch, and VIP extras.  Guests will receive a tax receipt in the amount of $100.  Festivities for the VIP guests take place from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm.

Traditional Irish dancers will perform during the lunch hour as well as an Irish pianist. Music and festivities carry on throughout the afternoon and evening.
